Yeah I will not be defending that, that's objectively terrible coverage and some moderate wing of fascism shit.
Well yeah, she's no Boots Riley obviously. I don't have some delusion that she's a PSL sleeper agent. You will still not find a much better sympathizer in journalism, and she is a valuable figure in this way.

The idea that you could stealth a cig is extremely funny
Last time the tow truck assholes stole my car I asked the guy at the desk if he believed in God because he was going to hell. The poor lady who was also there to get her car back got a kick out of that at least.
i almost got to the other day but there was a person on their balcony right across the street from it.
can we have a little death to amerikkka as a treat?
it's pretty interesting history! reading about that period and the meiji restoration is also pretty interesting in the context of one piece. i would actually argue that the wano arc is essentially oda asking "what if the meiji restoration wasn't reactionary?"
well if the covid lesson is anything to go by, only south korea will actually do something about it while maintaining their brutal chaebol capitalism
kind of, but in the sense that oda is a goat and named the one piece character "Warring States" (literally). the warring states period or sengoku jidai was the period of japanese history prior to the edo era, and was ended by Oda Nobunaga's overthrow of the Ashikaga Shogunate
a now 30-year post-soviet sengoku jidai even
I agree it is disappointing that even the better journalists are still western chauvinists. You can see my response to said receipts, which is that I have no interest in defending Democracy Now!s consistent application of :us-foreign-policy:. I still appreciate when they do good coverage, like offering a platform for criticism of the Zionist entity or interviewing Boots. I don't think that's an unreasonably nuanced attitude. However if you still would like to argue that they're unforgivably in the pocket of the Great Satan, I'm not going to tell you you're wrong in this attitude.
